Additionally, there is expansion potential to native Windows, MacOS, and Linux applications, further enhancing its versatility.

Scalable Cloud Infrastructure​

Hylist utilizes serverless Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure, allowing it to scale instantaneously to accommodate varying traffic demands. This serverless architecture also enables Hylist to scale down to zero, optimizing compute billing and reducing costs. Only pay for the resources you use!

Technical Excellence​

  • Multi-Environment Support: Hylist supports multiple environments (development and production) with the flexibility to expand to additional environments as needed.
  • CI/CD Pipeline: An efficient Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline ensures rapid and reliable deployments.
    • P90: Complete deployment within 16 minutes 32 seconds.
    • P99: Complete deployment within 31 minutes 12 seconds.
  • Quality Assurance: The CI/CD pipeline includes spellchecking, code linters for Go and Dart, unmodified code-generators, automatic unit/integration testing, build success checks, deployment to app distribution, deployment to TestFlight, infrastructure deployment with Terraform, release management, changelog generation, and semantic versioning.

Platform Architecture​

All infrastructure deployments and changes are automatically handled with Terraform. Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows developers to define and provision data center infrastructure using a high-level configuration language. It enables businesses to manage resources across various cloud providers and services in a consistent and repeatable manner.
